New device for blocked or hard-to-open heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that helps open heart arteries that are completely blocked or too hard to widen with standard balloons. It may be an option for people whose prior stent treatment did not work well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a heart artery that is at least 70% blocked.
- The artery is either fully blocked for at least 3 months, a stent is not opening properly, or a balloon failed to open it.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.
- You do not have recent heart attack, severe heart valve problems, or very weak heart pumping (under 30%).
- You do not have serious kidney problems, bleeding disorders, or allergies to required medicines.

This trial tests a laser device that can help open severely narrowed or hardened heart arteries that are difficult to treat with balloons alone. It may be an option if standard balloon angioplasty is not working for you.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to treat blocked small arteries in the heart. It may help people who have new blockages and are getting a procedure to open those arteries.
This study tests a special balloon, called Angionix, used to open blocked heart arteries. It aims to see how well it works and if it is safe for people with coronary artery disease.
This study tests a balloon coated with a drug that may help keep arteries open after they've been cleared, especially for people with a narrowing inside a previously placed stent or in a small heart artery. It's a first-time-in-humans study to check if the treatment is safe and works.
This study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
This trial tests if a special rotating device alone works as well as a more complex approach for treating heavily calcified blockages in the heart arteries. It uses a CT scan to find the right patients.
